A Horse With No Name - Dewey Bunnell *

     

 

 

[intro] | (Dm) | (C6/9) | (Dm) | (C6/9) |

 

On the (Dm)first part of the (C6/9)journey

I was (Dm)looking at all the (C6/9)life

There were (Dm)plants and birds and (C6/9)rocks and things

There was (Dm)sand and hills and (C6/9)rings

The (Dm)first thing I met was a (C6/9)fly with a buzz

And the (Dm)sky, with no (C6/9)clouds

The (Dm)heat was hot and the (C6/9)ground was dry

But the (Dm)air was full of (C6/9)sound

 

[chorus]

I’ve (Dm)been through the desert on a (C6/9)horse with no name

It felt (Dm)good to be out of the (C6/9)rain

In the (Dm)desert, you can re(C6/9)member your name

‘Cause there (Dm)ain’t no one for to (C6/9)give you no pain

(Dm)Laa laa, la (C6/9)la-la-la laa, la-la (Dm)laa, laa (C6/9)laa

(Dm)Laa laa, la (C6/9)la-la-la laa, la-la (Dm)laa, laa (C6/9)laa

 

After (Dm)two days in the (C6/9)desert sun

My (Dm)skin began to turn (C6/9)red

After (Dm)three days in the (C6/9)desert fun

I was (Dm)looking at a river (C6/9)bed

And the (Dm)story it told of a (C6/9)river that flowed

Made me (Dm)sad to think it was (C6/9)dead

 

[chorus]

I’ve (Dm)been through the desert on a (C6/9)horse with no name

It felt (Dm)good to be out of the (C6/9)rain

In the (Dm)desert, you can re(C6/9)member your name

‘Cause there (Dm)ain’t no one for to (C6/9)give you no pain

(Dm)Laa laa, la (C6/9)la-la-la laa, la-la (Dm)laa, laa (C6/9)laa

(Dm)Laa laa, la (C6/9)la-la-la laa, la-la (Dm)laa, laa (C6/9)laa

 

After (Dm)nine days, I let the (C6/9)horse run free

‘Cause the (Dm)desert had turned to (C6/9)sea

There were (Dm)plants and birds and (C6/9)rocks and things

There was (Dm)sand and hills and (C6/9)rings

The (Dm)ocean is a desert with its (C6/9)life underground

And a (Dm)perfect disguise a(C6/9)bove

Under the (Dm)cities, lies a (C6/9)heart made of ground

But the (Dm)humans will give no (C6/9)love

[intro] (Em)  x4

 

(Em) She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene

I said don't mind, but what do you mean I am the (Am)one

Who will dance on the floor in the (Em)round

She said I am the (Am)one, who will dance on the floor in the (Em)round

Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the (Am)one

Who will dance on the floor in the (Em)round

 

(C)People always told me be (Em)careful of what you do

Don't (C)go around breaking young girls' (Em)hearts

She says I am the (Am)one

But the (G)kid is (Bm7)not my (Em)son

 

(Em) For forty days and for forty nights. The law was on her side.

But who can stand when she's in demand. Her schemes and (Am)plans.

'Cause we danced on the floor in the (Em)round

So take my strong ad(Am)vice, remember to always think (Em)twice   (Do think twice)

 

(Em) She told my baby we'd danced till three, then she looked at me

Then showed a photo my baby cried his eyes were like (Am)mine

'Cause we danced on the floor in the (Em)round

 

(C)People always told me be (Em)careful of what you do

Don't (C)go around breaking young girls' (Em)hearts

Then she (C)stood right by me, the (Em)smell of sweet perfume

This (C)happened much too soon, she (B7)called me to her room

I (G)hear the train a comin’… it's rolling round the bend

And I ain't seen the sunshine since… (G7) I don't know when

Always be a good boy… don't (G7)ever play with guns

But I (C)shot a man in Reno… just to watch him (G)die

When I (D7)hear that whistle blowin’… I hang my head and (G)cry

 

I (G)bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car

They're probably drinkin’ coffee… and (G7)smoking big cigars

Well I (C)know I had it coming… I know I can't be (G)free

But those (D7)people keep a-movin’… and that's what tortures (G)me

 

Well if they'd (G)free me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine

I bet I'd move it on a little (G7)farther down the line

(C)Far from Folsom prison… that's where I want to (G)stay

Johnny B. Goode - Chuck Berry

 

 

Deep (G)down in Louisiana close to New Orleans

Way (G)back up in the woods among the evergreens

There (C)stood a log cabin made of earth and wood

Where (G)lived a country boy named Johnny B Goode

Who (D7)never ever learned to read or write so well

But he could (G)play the guitar just like a-ringin a bell

 

Go (G)go… go Johnny go, go

Go, Johnny go (C)go

Go, Johnny, go (G)go

Go, Johnny, go (D7)go

   Johnny B. (G)Goode

 

He used to (G)carry his guitar in a gunny sack

Or (G)sit beneath the tree by the railroad track

Oh an (C)engineer could see him sitting in the shade

(G)Strummin' to the rhythm that the drivers made

(D7)People passing by they'd stop and say

Oh (G)my but that little country boy can play

 

Go (G)go… go Johnny go, go

Go, Johnny go (C)go

Go, Johnny, go (G)go

Go, Johnny, go (D7)go

   Johnny B. (G)Goode

 

His (G)mother told him some day you will be a man

And you will be the leader of a big old band

(C)Many people coming from miles around

And (G)hear you play your music till the sun goes down

(D7)Maybe someday your name gonna be in light

Sayin' (G)Johnny be Goode tonight

 

Go (G)go… go Johnny go, go

Go, Johnny go (C)go

Go, Johnny, go (G)go

Go, Johnny, go (D7)go

   Johnny B. (G)Goode [end]

My (Am)friend, I'll say it (C)clear

I'll state my (Am7)case (D7)of which I'm (G)certain

I've (G)lived a life that's (G7)full

I've travelled (C)each and every (Cm)highway

And (G)more, much more than (Am7)this

(D7)I did it (C)my (G)way

 

Re(G)grets I've had a (Gmaj7)few

I (Am)did what I had to (C)do

I (G)planned each charted (G7)course

(D7)I did it (C)my (G)way

 

Yes, there were (G)times, I'm sure you (G7)knew

When I bit (C)off more than I could (Am)chew

But through it (Am7)all, when there was (D)doubt

I ate it (Bm7)up and spit it (Em)out

I faced it (Am)all and I stood (D7)tall

And did it (C)my (G)way

 

I've (G)loved, I've laughed and (Gmaj7)cried

I've had my (G7)fill, my share of (E7)losing

And (Am)now, as tears sub(C)side

I find it (Am7)all (D7)so a(G)musing

To (G)think I did all (G7)that

And may I (C)say, not in a (Cm)shy way,

"Oh, (G)no, oh, no, not (Am7)me

(D7)I did it (C)my (G)way"

 

For what is a (G)man, what has he (G7)got?

If not him(C)self, then he has (Am)naught

To say the (Am7)things he truly (D)feels

And not the (Bm7)words of one who (Em)kneels

The record (Am)shows I took the (D7-single strum)blows

[tremolos] And did it (C)my (G)way! [end]

Although my (Dm)heart is falling (F)too

I'm in (G)love with your body

(The Molecular) Shape Of You - Ed Sheraan/AcapellaScience *

 

 

[intro] (Am)  (Dm)  (F)  (G)

 

A (Am)dot isn't the best way (Dm) to try to sum up how e(F)lectrons come and go (G)

(Am)They are the states of... a (Dm)matter field that follows an e(F)quation that Dirac wrote (G)

The (Am)Schrodinger part of the whole e(Dm)quation will just lead in (F)sub-c when it expands (G)

Now... get that (Am)Coulomb and add it (Dm)in with a proton

And (F)watch them start to dance

(G) As hydrogen it's like

 

[pre-chorus]

(Am)"Oh proton I (Dm)feel your tug

(F)Central potential (G)dip down pulling on (Am)me

But I'm not (Dm)falling in deep

(F)No that would break un(G)certainty

Say (Am)oh, Electrons (Dm)move too much

(F)Slow down your pace and (G)put that orbit on (Am)me

Come on now (Dm)follow my lead, come, (F)come on now follow my (G)lead

 

[chorus]

(Am) Orbi(Dm)tals take the shape they (F)do

As stable (G)states of the quantum (Am)rules

And when a (Dm)one approaches (F)two

They com(G)bine and they're bonding

(Am) Thus (Dm)hydrogen as a (F)rule

Is found in (G)nature as H(Am)2

Energy configu(Dm)ring a mole(F)cule

Dia(G)tomically bonding

 

(Am)Low high low high (Dm)low high low high  (F) dia(G)tomically bonding  x3

(Am) Energy configu(Dm)ring a mole(F)cule

When orbi(G)tals take the shape they do

 

(Am)One half spin will give a (Dm)lepton a twin

One up one (F)down in the ground state (G)

With S and (Am)P in quadruple de(Dm)generacy

The second (F)shell can be filled up with eight (G)

The higher (Am)angular powers spread out like (Dm)beautiful flowers

In middle (F)families they come into play (G)

Well here's a (Am)carbon with 6e

This (Dm)ain't nothing tricksy

But we're (F)gonna make some methane today

(G) With hydrogen it's like

 

[pre-chorus]

(Am)"Oh atoms I (Dm)feel your tug

(F)Got my electrons (G)bugged out pulling on (Am)me

Come on now (Dm)settle round me…

(F)I'll hybridize to (G)SP3

Say (Am)oh, Carbon (Dm)here's our touch

(F)Spread out one-oh-nine-(G)point-four-seven de(Am)grees

Come on now (Dm)follow our lead, come, (F)come on now follow our (G)lead"

 

[chorus]

(Am) Mole(Dm)cules take the shape they (F)do

Combining (G)states of the quantum (Am)rules

Like when a (Dm)shell goes SP(F)2

For sigma (G)pi double bonding

(Am) And as (Dm)widely as their pur(F)view

They spread out (G)in the mole(Am)cule

Look at benzene in a (Dm)ring they hold it (F)true

Aro(G)matically bonding

 

(Am)Low high low high (Dm)low high low high  (F) Aro(G)matically bonding  x3

(Am) Look at benzene in a (Dm)ring they hold it (F)true 

When orbi(G)tals take the shape they do

 

(Am) Come bond with me (Dm)baby, come bond... (F) come bond with me (G)baby, come bond  x4

 

(Am) Poly(Dm)mers take the shape they (F)do

Combining (G)base-level resi(Am)dues

Like RN(Dm)A's A.C.G.(F)U.

Look they're (G)hydrogen bonding!

(Am) Pep(Dm)tides make a chain and (F)group

In beta (G)pleat sheets and cork(Am)screws

With these secondary (Dm)links they fold and (F)move

They're all (G)over your body

 

(Am) Come bond with me (Dm)baby, come bond... (F) come bond with me (G)baby, come bond  x3

(Am) You're a chemical ma(Dm)chine, it's best you (F)knew

That mole(G)cules take the shape of (Am-single strum)you [end]

(C)He sat high above his bay (G7)watching all the couples play

(F) And wishing that (C)he had someone (G7)too

(C) And from his lava came this (G7)song of hope that he sang

Out (F)loud… every day (C)for years and (G7)years

 

[chorus]

(F) I have a dream… I (C)hope will come true

That (G7)you're here with me… and (C)I'm here with you

I (F)wish that the earth, sea, the (C)sky up above-a

Will (F)se-e-end me (G7)someone to (C)lava

Un(F)til… he was on the (C)brink of extinc(G7)tion

(C) But little did he know that (G7)living in the sea below

A(F)nother… volcano was (C)listening to his (G7)song

(C) Everyday she heard his tune… (G7)her lava grew and grew

Be(F)cause... she believed his (C)song was meant for (G7)her

(C)Rising from the sea below (G7)stood a lovely volcano

(F) Looking… all around but (C)she could not see (G7)him

He (C)tried to sing to let her know that (G7)she was not… there alone

But (F)with no… lava his (C)song was all (G7)gone

He (C)filled the sea… with his tears and (G7)watched his dreams disappear

As (F)she… remembered what his (C)song meant to (G7)her

 

[happy women-only chorus]

(F) I have a dream… I (C)hope will come true

That (G7)you're here with me… and (C)I'm here with you

I (F)wish that the earth, sea, the (C)sky up above-a

Will (F)se-e-end me (G7)someone to (C)lava

 

(C)Oh they were so happy to (G7)finally meet above the sea

(F) All together now their (C)lava grew and (G7)grew

No (C)longer are they all alone with a(G7)loha as their new home

(F) And when you visit them (C)this is what they (G7)sing

 

(F) I have a dream I (C)hope will come true

That (G7)you'll grow old with me… and (C)I'll grow old with you

(F)We thank the earth, sea, the (C)sky we thank too

Sound Of Silence - Simon & Garfunkel

 

 

[intro] (Em)

 

Hello darkness my old (D)friend

I’ve come to talk with you a(Em)gain

Because a vision soft(C)ly (G)creeping

Left its seeds while I (C)was slee(G)ping

And the (C)vision that was (C/G)planted in my (G)brain

Still re(Em)mains

Within the (D)sound… of (Em)silence [stop]

 

In restless dreams I walked a(D)lone

Narrow streets of cobbled (Em)stone

‘Neath the halo of (C)a street (G)lamp

I turned my collar to the (C)cold and (G)damp

When my (C)eyes were stabbed by the (C/G)flash of a neon (G)light

That split the (Em)night (Em)

And touched the (D)sound… of (Em)silence [stop]

 

And in the naked light I (D)saw

Ten thousand people maybe (Em)more

People talking with(C)out spea(G)king

People hearing with(C)out listen(G)ing

People writing (C)songs that (C/G)voices never (G)share

And no one (Em)dare (Em)

Disturb the (D)sound… of (Em)silence [stop]

 

“FOOLS!” said I, you do not (D)know

Silence like a cancer (Em)grows

Hear my words that I (C)might teach (G)you

Take my arms that I (C)might reach (G)you

But my (C)words like (C/G)silent raindrops (G)fell

[extra bar] (G)

And e(Em)choed

In the (D)wells of (Em)silence [stop]

 

And the people bowed and (D)prayed

To the neon God they (Em)made

And the sign flashed (C)its war(G)ning

In the words that it (C)was for(G)ming

And the sign said, the (C)words of the prophets are (C/G)written on the subway (G)walls

And tenement (Em)halls

And (Em)whispered… in the (D)sounds… of (Em)silence [end]

The (A)buildings that you put (Em)up

Japan and (Em)China all lit (D)up

 

The (A)sign that I couldn't (Em)read

All the (Em)light that I couldn't (D)see

Some(A)things you have to be(Em)lieve

But others are (Em)puzzles, puzzling (D)me

Gonna (C)take your mama out all night

Yeah we'll (Bb)show her what it's all about

And if the (C)music ain't good, well it's just too bad

We're gonna (Bb)sing along no matter what

Because the (F)dancers don't mind at the New Orleans

If you (C)tip 'em and they make a cut

So she'll (F)have no doubt

That we're doing oh the best we (C)can (Bb-B)

We're gonna (C)do it… take your mama (Bb)out all night

You can (F)stay up late 'cause baby you're a full grown (C)man (Bb-B)

(C) (Bb) (Dm) (C)

 

It's a (C)struggle… livin' like a good boy (Bb)oughta

In the (Dm)summer… watching all the girls pass (C)by

When your (C)mama… heard the way that you'd been (Bb)talkin'

And tried to (Dm)tell you… that all she wants to do is (C)cry

 

Now we (Dm)end up taking the (Dm7)long way home

(Dm6)Looking overdressed wearing (G)buckets of stale (C)cologne (C)

So (Dm)hard to see streets on a (Dm7)country road

When your (Dm6)glass is in the garbage

And your (G)Continental's just been (C)towed (C)

The Mermaid - Shel Silverstein *

 

 

[intro-kazoo] | (G) | (D) |  x4

 

When (D)I was a lad in a fishing town

Me (G)old man said to (D)me

"You can (D)spend your life, your (Bm)jolly life

Just (G)sailing on the (A)sea

You can (D)search the world for pretty girls

Til your (G)eyes are weak and (F#m)dim

But (G)don't go searching for a (D)mermaid (Bm)son

If you (G)don't know (A)how to (D)swim"

 

[chorus]

‘Cause her (G)hair was green as (D)seaweed

Her (G)skin was blue and (D)pale

Her (G)face it was a (D)work of art

I (G)loved that girl with (D)all my heart

But I (G)only liked the (D)upper (Bm)part

I (G)did not (A)like the (D)tail

 

[instrumental-Melodion or tin whistle]

| (D) | (A) | (D) | (G) (A) | (D) | (A) | (D) (G) | (A) |

 

I (D)signed onto a sailing ship

My (G)very first day at (D)sea

I (D)seen the Mermaid (Bm)in the waves

A-(G)reaching out to (A)me

"Come (D)live with me in the sea,” said she

(G)“Down on the ocean (F#m)floor

And I'll (G)show you a million (D)wonderous (Bm)things

You've (G)never (A)seen be(D)fore”

 

So (D)over I jumped and she pulled me down

(G)Down to her seaweed (D)bed

On a (D)pillow made of a (Bm)tortoise-shell

She (G)placed beneath my (A)head

She (D)fed me shrimp and caviar

Up-(G)on a silver (F#m)dish

From her (G)head to her waist it was (D)just my (Bm)taste

But the (G)rest of (A)her was a (D)fish

 

[chorus]

‘Cause her (G)hair was green as (D)seaweed

Her (G)skin was blue and (D)pale

Her (G)face it was a (D)work of art

I (G)loved that girl with (D)all my heart

But I (G)only liked the (D)upper (Bm)part

I (G)did not (A)like the (D)tail

 

[instrumental-Melodion or tin whistle]

| (D) | (A) | (D) | (G) (A) | (D) | (A) | (D) (G) | (A) |

 

But (D)then one day, she swam away

So I (G)sang to the clams and the (D)whales

"Oh, (D)how I miss her (Bm)seaweed hair

And the (G)silver shine of her (A)scales!”

But (D)then her sister, she swam by

And (G)set my heart a-(F#m-pause)whirl…

‘Cause her (G)upper part was an (D)ugly (Bm)fish

But her (G)bottom part (A)was a (D)girl

 

Yes her (G)hair was green as (D)seaweed

Her (G)skin was blue and (D)pale

Her (G)legs they are a (D)work of art

I (G)loved that girl with (D)all my heart

And I (G)don't give a damn about the (D)upper (Bm)part

‘Cause (G)that's how I (A)get my (D)tail
